    Please forgive me is this is answered somewhere else. My current build does not have a full scale picture showing the spacing for the ratlines. It shows that there are 23 of the "ladder" ratlines, but the picture if maybe .25 size. I have seen a few answers for other scale ships, but nothing for a 1:80 scale. Sadly, my math is not good enough to figure out the distance between the lines. Any help? Current build is the "Corsair" from OcCre

    What is the spacing between the ladder rungs on the ratlines? the instructions showed 23 of them, but i do not see any full sized photos showing spacing

    I want to buy assorted items for my current build (1:80) but I still can't figure out how to measure my dead eyes and blocks (and cannon and wheel and bell and lifeboat, etc) Do i measure the long side or the short? thickness or length might be a better way to say it for the blocks. do i measure across the circle for the dead eye?

    I wasn't sure if the reefing points were on a jib or spanker sail. I have read it is difficult to get the right size rope to represent the proper scale

    Took a quick break from the rigging to make the sails. The ties, ar the on both side of these types? I know they are only on the front of the square sales. But these type?
  20. kearnold
    Finalizing the main mast shrouds and deadeyes. Ratlines and backstays are next
  21. kearnold
    thanks! so far it has only been minor things.
  22. kearnold
    I have started the rigging and will be doing the shrouds soon. Before anyone says my anchor ropes are incorrect and only 1 should be around the windlass. I know. I had this conversation before and I finally said the hell with it. I am doing what the instructions for the ship show. (see earlier photos)
  23. kearnold
    I need 1:54 scale.

    If I had a permanent / dedicated hobby desk or room I still might use this as a backup storage where it would sit in the corner of my desk and hold things that I don't need to use on a regular basis which would mostly be the scrap pieces of wood spare cannons and doors and dead eyes and everything else that is left over each time you finish a kit I would start combining all of those items together in the drawers and store them
  25. kearnold
    It is somewhat cramped depending upon where you set it up if I had more of the kitchen table work on it would be pushed back for another 10 inches from my work mat. The base size of the portable desk is a little too large to sit on top of a folding tray table or something like that. If I had the space I would move it to where it's at beside me and have the table space open I just don't have that kind of work area unfortunately. I could probably tear down the workbench table I have that's currently supporting my scroll saw and use it as my work bench but right now I'm good with what I've got

    A few new files working on my new hobby desk
  27. kearnold
    I will be having the same issue. I have only worked in 5 mm and my fat fingers can hardly hold on to the tiny pieces 😅
  28. kearnold
    Finally got my stuff together.

    Tiller done, door done, anchors hung, quarterdeck done. Time to re do the rails. Captain Plank seems to like his new digs.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
